The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS Church) is one of the largest Mormon fundamentalist denominations and one of the largest organizations in the United States whose members practice polygamy.The FLDS Church emerged in the early twentieth century when its founding members left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The split occurred largely because of the LDS Church's suspension of the practice of polygamy and its decision to excommunicate its members who would continue the practice.

The FLDS Church is estimated to have 6,000 - 10,000 members residing in the sister cities of Hildale, Utah and Colorado City, Arizona; Eldorado, Texas; Westcliffe, Colorado; Mancos, Colorado; Creston and Bountiful, British Columbia; and Pringle, South Dakota.There are also developing communities near Benjamín Hill, Sonora (south of Nogales in the state of Sonora);Ensenada, Baja California (south of Tijuana);and Boise City, Oklahoma.

The FLDS Church headquarters were originally located in what was then known as Short Creek, Arizona, on the southern border of Utah. The settlement eventually expanded into Utah and became incorporated as the twin municipalities of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona. Since 2004, however, The FLDS relocated the church's headquarters to Eldorado, Texas, where a temple was built by FLDS Church members.

Between 2004 and 2014 the church established a cemetery on the property located in Schleicher County Texas, since then there has been four recorded burials on the ranch. This property is currently under the ownership of the State of Texas since April 2014.
